by Ambassador Schouvaloff fresh meas
either impending or are already in opera
tion. Under Schouvaloff's assurances the
crusade against Russian stocks ceased
during the week the Russian securities have
been neither bought nor sold, but the anti
Russian feeling is again excited by fresh
display OF hostility on the part of the St
Petersburg Government and will not now
be allayed until some practical check il
eiven to the systematic Lersecu ion ol
Germans by Russians. Not only have the
interests of the financial community been
threatened, but the Government has al 90
sustained an affront in the reception OF the
communications sent to st. Petersburg

nkase affecting foreigners holding lands in
Russia. NJ. De Giers, after ministerial
council, replied that the law upon which
the imperial ukase was based could not be
modified or it's operation delayed. At the
same time negotia tions. the object of which
was to obtain special exceptions in cases
OF Princes Radziwill and Hohenlohe and
other German dignitaries who are land
owners in Western Russia, met with u curt
rejection.
THE RUSSIAN LOAN.
Tho measures which the Reichstag had
under consideration to prevent German in
vestments in Russian paper and which
were dropped under promise Of q restora-
tion of harmonious relations, are again
under discussion, and it is expected that
the result will be the absolute exclusion OF
the new Russian loans from German mar
kets. There is no whisper of the Car
meeting Emperor William. The former
will go to Copenhagen August lat, without
touching at German port. The annual
report OF the Elders OF the Berlin mercan-
tile community. referring to the extensive
strikes and Sociali5tic demonstrations
during che year 1886 in America, London,
Belgium and France, draws the inference
that Germany was sspared similar incidents
largely through the.beneficial operations OF
the Government aud the legislature.
DICTATOR BoULANGER.
The Deutsch Tagblattsays it has inform
alton that General Boulanger is concerned
in an intrigue with the Russian ambassa

ing convinced that Boulanger will return
to power, is bounding him on 70 take con

state of anarchy in France, and the estab

Certain, says the paper, the gap in the Vos
ges will play the role of safety valve, fol
which emergency Germany must be ready
Latest advices from Alsa Lorraine prove
that the gap will be fully watched during
the coming maneuvers of the French
troops. The reported intention of th'
Catholic congress at Fulda to reopen itt
claims for existence privileges has led to {
revival of Protestant agitation agains
further concession. Prince Bismarck vii
